Co-op of the Day: 47 Plaza Street West, #11C
How sweet it is! This four-bedroom apartment at 47 Plaza Street West in Park Slope has to be one of the finer pads within walking distance of the Park Slope Co-op. After spending the summer on the market, the 11th floor co-op sat out the fall selling season before getting back in the game again…
How sweet it is! This four-bedroom apartment at 47 Plaza Street West in Park Slope has to be one of the finer pads within walking distance of the Park Slope Co-op. After spending the summer on the market, the 11th floor co-op sat out the fall selling season before getting back in the game again this week with a price tag of $1,995,000. In addition to the size (2,270 square feet) and all the prewar detail, we are mighty impressed with all the windows and views this place brings to the table. Maintenance is a tough-to-swallow $3,008 per month though.

“I don’t really see a difference between a monthly maintenance of $1500 or one of $4500….”
You don’t?? Most single people who own 1 bedrooms in Manhattan pay more than $750 in maintenance a month. You get married, double it, and there you go…$1500 a month. No biggie.
4500 on the other hand is in a whole other league…
I always loved that building… but the kitchen is tiny, and probably needs help. Someone like 11217 or rob who eats a lot of takeout (?)
🙂
Absolutely, Newsouthsloper, for $2.6 million you can get something much better. My point is that at a certain point the $$ doesn’t seem to matter anymore. In this case, I don’t really see a difference between a monthly maintenance of $1500 or one of $4500….
BTW, this is the famous Rosario Candela designed “Flatiron” building for those who don’t know it.
Candela’s buildings are some of the most beautiful and coveted in the city. I think that’s what the “elusive” was referring to, which is a silly term to use. Especially in a recession.
But taking that aside, some of the most famous buildings in Manhattan (Park Avenue, West End Ave, Sutton Place, etc) are Candela buildings, and they do carry a lot of prestige with them.
I believe (and maybe Montrose can correct me if I’m wrong) that this and 39 Plaza Street West (Berkeley Plaza) may be the only Rosario Candela buildings in Brooklyn…
11217, if that PS listing has an open house, I’m SO THERE and I’ll be lingering around too.
this pad is super nice too. now that eastern parkway one last week (1.1M, 2200 sq ft) is creeping into my head for comparison sake. this definitely better than the all-you-can-see glass condos opposite it
Why are more than half the pics of the outside and surrounding area than of the apartment! I’d rather see more pics of the apt and can go to streetview to look at surrounding area.
That’s a huge apartment…….
but that kitchen is teeny tiny and oddly configured. The laundry room is bigger than the kitchen. New owners should eat out a lot and have lots of dirty clothes.
Ty, I only said it does make sense because for 2.6 Mil I would buy a brownstone that has more square footage and had a yard, etc. What amenities does this place offer for your 3K a month? A doorman and a newspaper delivered to your door, plus the priviledge of servicing the massive mortgage that must be on this building.

Triangular room in 47 Plaza Street West: Heaven

Yes, Dave…I think the Park Slope co-op reference was merely intended to point out that this apartment is in the North Slope, which is desirable first and foremost because of the transportation issue (Q at 7th AND 2/3 at Grand Army Plaza) and because you are within shouting distance of the Greenmarket, Bk Museum and the Botanical Gardens, etc.
Location is terrific.
